What this document actually says

Policy 1445: Response To Immigration Enforcement (Adopted: February 10, 2026)

This policy protects all students and families regardless of immigration status. The district will not ask about citizenship or immigration status, collect related documents, or share student/family information with immigration enforcement unless required by law or valid court order. Staff cannot grant immigration officers access to non-public areas of schools, buses, or district facilities. However, staff must not physically obstruct officers who enter anyway.

The Superintendent must report any immigration enforcement requests to the Board while protecting privacy. Parents receive information about their rights and children's right to free public education. Discrimination based on immigration status is prohibited. Complaints follow the standard Uniform Complaint Procedures (Policy 1312.3).

What this means for your family

Your family is protected: The district won't ask about immigration status or share your information with immigration enforcement. All children have the right to attend school regardless of citizenship. You cannot be discriminated against based on immigration status. If you experience discrimination, file a complaint under Policy 1312.3. Your child's education and safety remain the district's priority.
